Show Notes
This is Björk Unravelled — a series that demystifies Björk’s music, one piece at a time. It’s the podcast that every Björk fan can share with their skeptic friends and say, “See? It’s not that weird.” The one I wish I had when I recommended Björk to my friends.
In each episode, I’ll pick apart a different facet of her work: from her signature vocals, to her genre bending instrumentation — and beyond. And through it all, you’ll realize that her music isn’t “unlistenable” or “esoteric.”
It’s for everyone.
New episodes every other Thursday. Subscribe now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you find your podcasts.

Remixes are an integral part of Björk's discography. Think about it: she has multiple remix albums — including Telegram (which remixes Post), Voltaic: The Volta Mixes, and Bastards (which remixes Biophilia).
In 2022 Björk released her 10th studio album. Considering how many artists have stopped after five or fewer, it’s a big accomplishment. But it’s even more significant when you consider how experimental Björk's records have been, especially after Homogenic.
En una entrevista en 2016 con Another Magazine, Bjork dijo: “...alguien hizo una encuesta online sobre dónde estaban mis fans... ¡y aparentemente mi típico fan es un chico gay mexicano de 20 años! ¡Me sentí muy orgullosa!”
In a 2016 interview with Another Magazine Björk said: “...some guy did an online survey of where my fans were… and apparently my typical fan is a 20-year-old Mexican gay guy! I was really proud!”
Bjork's shrieks, rasps, and growls… are what make her voice her own. But they also have consequences on her long-term vocal health.
